The show centers on a small religious town on an island that is introduced to a supernatural element through the priest who brings home from a trip a vampire who mistakenly believes he is an angel. The show received high critical acclaim for creator Mike Flanagan’s writing and directing, ranking it among the best of his already impressive filmography of well-crafted horror shows and movies. And lead actor Hamish Linklater was also an unforgettable presence on the show as Father Paul. We have this covered even included Midnight mass on our year-end list of the best TV shows of 2021.
However, there were no Emmy nominations for acting, directing, or writing awarded to Midnight mass when they were announced on Tuesday. In fact, the only Emmy nomination the show received was for Outstanding Sound Editing for a Limited or Anthology Series, Movie, or Special.
Fans were quick to complain about the lack of recognition, with one Twitter user highlighting Linklater’s impressive and relentless monologue skills throughout the series.
“Midnight mass overall it was a masterpiece. He, Hamish and everyone involved deserved more.”
